Multihull Yacht Club of Victoria meeting 27th June

If your thinking of building a multihull for cruising and wondering what is essential in terms of fitout and equipment or summoning up the courage to drop the mooring and head off into some long term cruising on your multihull this meeting could give you some valuable information. I'll post up further details once the time and venue is confirmed. We have been meeting at the Royal Melbourne Yacht Squadron lately and it may be there again but not sure as yet. Visitors are very welcome to come along.

On the 27th of June the MYCV is having its 2nd meeting for the year. This meeting will have a cruising feel to it with legends of the club Alex Macnaughton and Lindsay Cumming talking about there experiences in cruising Bass Strait and beyond. Some of the pups of the club will also speak mainly Al Mustang Bennett, The doc and Rob and myself talking about sea sickness when crossing Bass Strait. Both experts in the subject?

 

Hey Corley, Regards to all the MYCV crew especially to Lindsey and Alex. Could you please announce that the 2 ORMA 60 TRis WILL BE AT ABRW confirmed. This will be the Multihull event of the year! All welcome, cheers.

 

I know some of the boys and girls from the club are headed up for the event. I'd like to go but I'm on "shore duty" for now the missus and I have just had a new bub addition to our family so no leave passes for now.

 

27th June meeting - focus on multihull cruising

The next meeting of the club will be held at the Caulfield RSL, 4 St Georges Road, Elsternwick, at 7.30pm on Wednesday 27th June. The RSL has an excellent meeting room, and the bar and dining room (good, well-priced food) is open from 6.00.

After the usual brief club business, there will be three short talks on multihull cruising, with questions and discussion to follow. Lindsay Cuming will focus on cruising the north and west coast of Australia, Alex McNaughton on the east coast, and Al Bennet on Bass Strait and on cruising in smaller multis. You won't get three more experienced skippers than these, so come along and invite anyone else you think may be interested, as all are welcome (especially prospective new members!).
